4 Fresh Ideas to Wrap Up the Trading Week

Thursday Recap:

We got things going in our premarket report yesterday morning with a trio of potential options plays, in our continuing efforts to come up with daily winners during this low period for high profile earnings reporters. For what we can’t get out of the daily calendar, we look elsewhere, and have been doing a pretty good job at that recently.

Yesterday’s targets were the LEVI 04/19 $20-21 Calls, the CAG Weekly $30-31 Calls, and the MNMD 04/19 $12 Calls, and here were the types of positive intraday moves they recorded for the session.

Options Recaps, 4 Fresh Potential Plays

More Options Review:

We want to open up this morning by apologizing for any confusion pertaining to the SPY Calls in yesterday’s premarket report. We mistakenly listed our targets as the $424-425 instead of the $524-525 Calls, and didn’t catch our error until it was too late. We don’t often make mistakes, but we’re quit to point it out when we do. As a result we have just a couple of yesterday’s targets to report back on, but we’ve also got some updates on previous longer-term plays that have tacked on some new highs this week.

Yesterday’s movers were the BOIL Weekly $13.50-14.50 Calls, and the SGML 04/19 $13-14 Calls. The CAR 04/05 $118-120 Calls, and the DELL 04/05 $114-116 Calls, we alerted on last Monday, and we’ll include the updated figures for those excellent week-over-week runners as well:

BOIL Weekly $13.50-14.50 Calls
$13.50
: .81-1.22 (+51%)
$14: .55-.90 (+64%)
$14.50: .37-.65 (+76%)
_____

SGML 04/19 $13-14 Calls
$13
: 1.25-1.80 (+44%)
$14: .80-1.30 (+62%)
_____

CAR 04/05 $118-120 Calls
$118
: 3.20-8.32 (+191%)
$119: 3.10-5.10 (+64%)
$120: 2.69-5.60 (+108%)
_____

DELL 04/05 $114-116 Calls
$114
: 2.15-6.00 (+179%)
$115: .60-5.00 (+733%)
$116: 1.80-4.00 (+122%)


Fresh Options Ideas:

We’ve got some potential earnings plays in PVH and PAYX this morning, as well as a couple of longer term recovery play possibilities with SNOW, whose CEO recently snapped up $5M at the bottom, and IRON, which tanked dramatically on some unfavorable news.

PVH 04/19 $110-105 Puts
PAYX 04/19 $120-115 Puts
SNOW 05/10 $175-180 Calls
IRON 05/17 $40-45 Calls

Thursday’s Options Recap:

It’s always nice to end a trading week with a whole slate full of good ideas, and that was certainly the case.

We were considering the SPY 03/28 $522-523 Calls, the MLKN 04/19 $25 Puts, and the RH Weekly $325-330 Calls, and here are the figures those contracts produced on the session:

SPY 03/28 $522-523 Calls
